The day after the engagement, Oi Kugai once again hosted a banquet to entertain Lan Qianzhen and his Taisho soldiers.

In the past half a month, Lan Qianzhen has sent troops back to Luoyan Pass in batches.

Each withdrawn troop drove a large number of cattle, sheep, and horses.

Now there are only more than 10,000 cavalry guards left under Lan Qianzhen.

At the banquet, Oi Kugai once again praised Lan Qianzhen and Lan Ziyi, father and son, and proposed that his daughter follow Lan Ziyi back to Taizheng, learn the etiquette of Middle-earth, and serve her mother-in-law's family well.

Lan Qianzhen rejected Oi Kugai on the grounds that the girl was young and not yet old enough to leave home, and once again emphasized the emperor's grace, reminding Oi Kugai to keep in mind his identity as a Dazheng vassal, and to be loyal to the emperor can naturally keep all of them alive and reproduce on the grassland, if he dares to challenge Taisho like his brother Qiu Doufan, it will be shattered.

At the banquet, the eunuch of the prison army read out the holy decree, set up a general to protect the army, a eunuch to supervise the army, and led 2,000 cavalry to cover the nomadic court of the royal court, so as to "protect" the eunuch from the "bandit attack", and at the same time keep the weapons and armor of the tribe.

Before that, in addition to the royal court, the remaining tribes after the Great War had been divided into four tribes, which were "protected" by Taisho soldiers.

At the same time, the eunuchs of the supervising army announced that each of the four divisions would have a Sima and lead 1,000 cavalry, who would be nomadic with each department, responsible for "protecting" the tribe and taking care of the weapons and equipment.

Counting the royal court, the five departments are nomadic in different areas, and they must not be far away from the control of the five towns in the north of Taizheng.

The five departments must report their location to Luoyan Pass every ten days,

Without the consent of the Luoyanguan General's Office, the five ministries are not allowed to meet at will, the leaders of the various departments are not allowed to move around at will, and those who violate the order will not be killed.

After everything was arranged, Lan Qianzhen led his troops south and returned to Luoyan Pass.

It has been more than half a month since the beginning of spring, and the last spring snow has melted.

Under the bright sunshine, there are already patches of green on the grassland.

The air is fresh and the spirit is refreshing, Lan Ziyi took advantage of the journey back to the army and took the Tao brothers to wander the prairie again.

Several men rode around the army every day to hunt and did not return to the army until evening.

Rabbits, antelopes, foxes, wolves, and brothers can catch a lot of game every day.

It's just that these are all things shot by the Tao brothers, Lan Ziyi didn't learn to ride and shoot when he was a child, plus he studied for a long time for the imperial examination, and he was almost powerless, so he just rode a horse and followed the Tao brothers to join in the fun, and he couldn't pull the bow at all. However, Lan Ziyi didn't feel embarrassed, but enjoyed it.

Lan Ziyi indulged in hunting every day, and the soldiers were very happy that their young master was finally willing to ride a horse and shoot arrows instead of studying every day, but Lan Ziyi himself could avoid the eunuchs of the prison army every day, for fear of being touched and bringing adverse effects to his family.

One night, Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers came back late, and met the overseers of the Imperial Horse Prison at the gate of the barracks.

Lan Ziyi was greatly frightened, and hurriedly dismounted to thank him, thinking that he might use this matter to blackmail his father when the other party got the handle, but he didn't expect the eunuch of the prison army to say:

"I have heard that General Lan Shao has read poetry and books and studied the teachings of the sages hard, and now I see that this bow horse is also very skillful, it is really both civil and military. Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and major generals must work hard to become the pillars of the country in the future. ”

Not only did he not use this as a lever, but he also praised it a lot.

Lan Ziyi found his father to apologize that night, afraid that this matter would have a bad impact, but he didn't expect his father Lan Qianzhen to care less.

Lan Qianzhen said:

"You can rest assured that you are hunting, he is a little eunuch this time because I am blessed to get such a big credit, it is too late to thank me, it is possible to impeach me? If you really want to impeach me, will the court believe him? I have a tradition of eunuchs supervising the army, but it doesn't mean that the generals are thankless substitutes for the dead, you must know that the generals in the military towns around the country are all descendants of the founding martial arts, and the eunuchs are just checking and balancing, if you really come to supervise the army, this eunuch is definitely not qualified, rest assured. ”

After playing like this for seven days, Lan Ziyi finally returned to Luoyan Pass with the army.

Before entering the customs, there was already a group of people waiting at the Luoyan Pass,

The group was wearing a cyan brocade robe, wearing a gold silk armor, and the leader was wearing a purple inner court official mansion, with a jade crown on his head, mink on his shoulders, although his sideburns were white, and his body was a little rickety, but his eyes were sharp.

After seeing this group of characters, Lan Qianzhen hurriedly led his son and a group of generals to dismount and thank him, and said in his mouth:

"The last general was terrified, I didn't expect that Father-in-law Yu would come to Luoyanguan in person, and I would like to ask my father-in-law for forgiveness!"

It turned out that the person who came was the father-in-law Yu who supervised Lan Qianzhen to exterminate the Mao people.

Father-in-law Yu laughed a few times and said:

"San Lang has made a great contribution now, old man, I should come out to greet you, if Lao Saburo greets me, it will be a broken rule."

Lan Qianzhen listened and said again and again, "The kid doesn't dare, the kid doesn't dare"

Father-in-law Yu didn't care about Lan Qianzhen, and then took the box wrapped in yellow cloth from the Taicheng guard behind him and preached loudly:

"The armies take the order!"

After Lan Qianzhen led everyone to kneel, Duke Yu announced:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Today's martial arts are prosperous, and the army is triumphant...... Specially given the lord Luoyan Pass, the generals and the marquis of Guannei. Lan Qianzhen made outstanding achievements, and gave his wife a special order to Mrs. Yipin, and his son Lan Ziyi Wei Pavilion waited, and was recruited to study in the German Palace. Crowned the governor of the five armies of the Lan Thousand Array, the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and entered the lord on behalf of the duke! “

Originally, it was a good thing to be promoted to the knighthood, but after this holy decree was lowered, the audience was silent, and the atmosphere did not ease but became tense.

Although Father-in-law Yu noticed the change in the atmosphere, he didn't care, but instead reminded Lan Qianzhen:

"The acting duke still doesn't accept the order?"

At this time, Lan Ziyi was like eating ice cubes in the Sanjiutian River, and his heart and lungs were cold. According to the Taisho convention, in the past, there were military generals who could make such a contribution to his father either die in battle, and those who survived were conscripted into the imperial court as three dukes. Now that he has been crowned with the title of his father, the governor of the five armies was only set up at the founding of the country, and the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses is even more unheard of, and he really doesn't know what the imperial court wants to do.

Lan Ziyi secretly glanced at his father and found that his father was kneeling on the ground and almost trembling.

Lan Qianzhen heard Father-in-law Yu urging him to accept the order, and said in one breath:

"Please also ask your father-in-law to show the emperor, the last general really doesn't dare to accept the order. I have my own system, military merits, and I have never heard that a different surname can be a public servant. The last generals will guard the border passes, and it is natural to fight with the Tartars even if they are broken bones, and they will never dare to ask for credit and rewards for such small merits, and covet titles and rewards that should not be coveted. “

Father-in-law Yu did not refute after hearing Lan Qianzhen's words, but stepped forward to help Lan Qianzhen and handed him the holy decree,

玉公公 says:

"San Lang doesn't have to worry, the emperor naturally has the emperor's arrangement to do this, and this time he specially sent the old man to announce the decree to eliminate San Lang's concerns. Hurry up and take the order back to the general's mansion, the emperor specially ordered me to bring dozens of jars of imperial wine and all kinds of delicacies to treat the soldiers, just waiting for you to bring the troops back to the house. “

Lan Qianzhen took the holy decree very reluctantly, and wanted to say something,

But Father-in-law Yu had already stepped on the horse and led the team into the customs, leaving only one sentence:

"San Lang is coming, the old man is impatient."

As soon as Gonggong Yu and Taichengwei left, Dugu Leopard rushed behind Lan Qianzhen and said anxiously:

"General! The Governor's Office of the Five Armies was only held by the Korean Duke when the country was founded, and it was the time when the Southern Expedition and the Northern War had to be done. The Korean Duke was later exterminated on the charge of rebellion! ”

Lan Qianzhen raised his hand to stop Dugu Leopard, and said fiercely:

"Shut up! Let's go back to the General's Mansion first. ”

After that, he hastily arranged for the general to lead the army into the city, and rushed back to the general's mansion with Dugu Leopard and Lan Ziyi.

When I arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, I found that the entire mansion had been lit up, and Father-in-law Yu had already led the Taicheng Guards to move in.

Two generals were waiting for Lan Qianzhen at the gate of the General's Mansion, one of whom was Hu Yanhao, who was guarding Luoyan Pass when the army went out; The other was not tall, his eyes bulging into his sockets, and the thief looked around slippery, with bulging cheekbones and a grinning mouth, as if he was laughing at the people around him.

Lan Qianzhen saw this person and looked at the General's Mansion again, frowned and asked:

"Bu Yang, you are dressed up in this general's mansion?"

This Bu Yang pulled his lips and smiled:

"Back to the general, after I entered the customs with the troops a few days ago, Father-in-law Yu came with a holy decree, and said that he was going to have a celebration banquet, so I ordered the general's mansion to be arranged, no, just in time."

Lan Qianzhen asked again:

"And the lady agreed?"

Bu Yang smiled and said:

"Madame and Father-in-law Yu have arranged it or not, can't you refute Father-in-law's face?"

Lan Qianzhen glanced at Bu Yang and said:

"You're my right-hand man."

As he spoke, he stepped into the general's mansion,

Lan Qianzhen didn't bother to change his clothes, took off his cloak and helmet and handed it to the person next to him and walked to the lobby.

Lan Ziyi followed,

The father and son entered the lobby, and Taichengwei was arranging the long table and chairs inside.

Father-in-law Yu stood under the hall with his back to the door, looking up at the tiger roaring mountain forest map hanging on the wall of the hall,

Lan Qianzhen took Lan Ziyi and hugged his fists and said:

"Father-in-law!"

Father-in-law Yu didn't look back when he heard it, but just said lightly:

"San Lang, are you bold or cowardly?"

Lan Qianzhen frowned when he heard this, and asked:

"What did my father-in-law say about this?"

Yu Gonggong smiled:

"If you are bold, today you are so frightened that you dare not even accept the holy decree; If you're timid......"

With a clapping of hands, all the people in the house went out, and then the four Taicheng guards escorted two people in, and the two of them were beaten all over their bodies, but it seemed that they didn't hurt their muscles and bones.

Taichengwei threw the person to the ground and went out after making a gesture to the fish father-in-law.

The man who was thrown on the ground got up and knelt on the ground with difficulty.

Father-in-law Yu looked at the two of them and asked Lan Qianzhen:

"San Lang, do you know these two?"
